A resource book for community forestry institutions was released under the guidance of COFSUN to increase awareness among community forestry user group (CFUG) members on community rights in current forestry laws and policies and sectoral issues, such as gender and social inclusion, climate change mitigation and adaptation, governance assessments and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) techniques. This resource, produced in collaboration with government and NGOs, aims to increase knowledge and strengthen governance in community forestry institutions, and includes a document summarizing the primary provisions of the Community Forestry Guidelines of Nepal.
